Looks good so far.

The good thing is that its vinyl so you can reapply as much as you want.

Going to keep it?

Oh and i bought LED indicator bulbs and reverse lights.

They're cheap and much more visible now.

I have a LED indicator relay on the way coz atm they're doing the fast flicker but that'll soon be fixed.

These tints are exactly what i've been looking for! Smoked Films are a win! :cheers:

This is a better alternative to spray tinting!

Hey Stef, actually looks good with the reverse lights untinted, matches with the silver :thumright:

Now I need to visualize how that would look like in my blue car. Did you do just 1 coat?

Yep. It's preety dark shiz, I dunno I wouldn't do it on your car cause it's already dark, same as i think black ftos look better without tint, but that's my personal opinion man up to you

At night there's absolutely no problem with the light, it's during a bright day with the sun on it, it may be hard to see, not sure though

Haha if I wanted that I could have have my own painted with transparant black

Point is I will be making clear and tinted not stock with tint over them meaning more light will shine threw
And won't need to be tinted as much to get the black look as there will be no base colour shineing threw
Ill be doing this with my kaze blinkers to
